2 Claims.

This invention relates to improvements in smoking pipes and has for one of its objects to provide a pipe having a smoke cooling chamber.

Another object of the invention is to provide a smoking pipe having a smoke filtering bowl provided with a smoke cooling element and means for directing the smoke to said element.

A further object of the invention is to provide a smoking pipe having a chamber approximating the size of the tobacco containing bowl and provided with means for filtering the smoke from the bowl to cool the same and relieve it from nicotine prior to its passage to the stem of the Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following descriptlon and the accompanying illustrative drawings in which:

Figure l is a side elevational view of my improved pipe,

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof,

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view of a modification oi the invention, and

Figure 5 is a bottom view showing the bottom of the bowl construction.

In the accompanying drawings as above enumerated and in the following specification, like characters of reference indicate like \parts throughout and in which l6, indicates my improved smoke cooling and filtering pipe which consists of an oblong body I I, provided with a tobacco bowl l2, having an outlet l3, adjacent to its bottom l4, into an adjoining chamber I5, formed by a bore from the bottom of said body, said chamber being substantially of the dimension of the bowl I2.

Screw-threaded into the threaded opening I6, at the bottom of said chamber I5, is a closure disk l1, provided with a central opening [8, into which the lower end E3, of a tube I9, is fixed. The member H is provided with concavities 20 and 2| on its underside within which are formed integral oppositely disposed wings 22 and 23, forming finger holds by means of which the member Il, may be screwed in or out. The upper end 24, of tube [9, seats within a bore 25, through the top wall 26, of the chamber 15. The tube l9, provides for a passage of air therethrough, whereby the chamber [5, is cooled.

Fixed upon the tube l9, and spaced apart are inverted coniformed bafiles 21 and 28, of fine wire cloth of a diameter at their upper peripheral edges to substantially engage the cylindrical wall 2 29, of chamber 15, a pipe stem 36, is screwed into the wall 3|, just under the top wall 23.

When smoke is drawn from the bowl l2, it passes through port 83, into chamber 15, at the bottom thereof and is retarded in its upward movement first by baffle 28, and then by baffle 21, which direct the smoke toward the cooling pipe l9, and through the interstices of which bafiles the smoke must filter before reaching the bore 32, of the pipe stem. This process not only cools the smoke, but causes the nicotine therein to adhere to the bafiles and finally run down to and down the wall .of pipe l9, and thence onto plate ll, which periodically may be removed and the filtering device cleaned. Of course, as the tube l8, becomes heated with the smoke passing therearound, a swifter draught of air through the tube is created, thereby assisting in the cooling of the smoke in chamber l5.

In Figure 4 of the drawings I show a modification of the invention in which the air tube 33, extending. through the cooling chamber 34, is fixed to the removable bottom 35, which slidably seats in the enlarged recess 36, at the lower terminal 31, of said chambr 34. The upper end 38, of said tube 33, is screw threaded as at 39, to receive the nut 40, seating in the enlargement 4|, of bore 42, and upon the gasket 43. The action of the nut is to draw the tube 33, and the bottom wall of chamber 34, up into place and hold them in such position.

It is thought that persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the invention after considering the description in connection with the drawings. scription is regarded as unnecessary.

Minor changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details and parts such as come within the purview of the invention claimed may be resorted to, in actual practice, if desired.

Having now described my invention that which I claim as new and desire to procure by Letters Patent is:

1. A sm'okers pipe comprising an oblong body being hollowed at its forward end to form a bowl, the rear of said body being formed with a hollow bore having an apertured closure at its lower end and provided with an apertured wall at its upper end to form a smoke chamber, a smoke cooling tube extending through the smoke chamber and communicating with the apertures in said apertured wall and closure, said bowl and bore having a full length common wall formed with a connecting smoke passage through the lower portion Therefore, a more lengthy de-.
